Marina blended with life of luxury - Back To News

The developers of Tarpon Point Marina are still adding new features at the mixed-used community in southwest Cape Coral.

Much of the action these days is centered around the new section known as MarinaVillage.

The Nov. 1 date for opening of the Resort at MarinaVillage Residence Club remains on target, with construction of the development in varied stages of completion.

“Construction is going well. We are right on schedule,” said Jim Crumbie, president of Grosse Pointe Development Co.

Construction should be complete by September with furniture move-in expected to be ready for Nov. 1, Crumbie said.

The residence club is a 19-story resort-style condo hotel. It is part of a $150 million mixed use development within Tarpon Point, which sits along the Caloosahatchee River. The development also will include two waterfront restaurants with indoor and outdoor seating, a day spa and fitness center and resort-style pool centered around the deep-water marina with 175 slips for boats up to 75 feet long.

The parking garage and promenade roof are near completion — along with the outer shells and interior walls of the residence club complex, according to Gary Locke and Randy Kares, executives with SunStream Hotels, the resort’s management firm.

Plumbing and appliance installation have been completed on some of the of the residence club floors, they said.

The shell of a restaurant, Marker 92, is in place, but the rest of the eatery still needs to be built out, they said.

The availability of skilled workers, including tradesmen, has helped speed up work of the project, putting them somewhat ahead of schedule, Crumbie said.

Half the retail space of MarinaVillage’s two-story shopping promenade has been leased, he said. It will include boutiques, high-tech office suites, gourmet market and a full service spa.

Joe and Sue Francis, who purchased a 3,050-square-foot, three-bedroom, 3-bath condo at Tarpon Landing, one of Tarpon Point’s villages near the MarinaVillage resort, are looking forward to the new shops, restaurant and spa.

Joe Francis, vice president of the Tarpon Landing Condominium Association and owner of a commercial real estate business in Minnesota, said he is interested in renting office space at MarinaVillage.

Sue Francis, who has owned salons for over 20 years in Minnesota, said she is looking forward to using the new day spa and hopes to work there as a hairdresser.

“I have a variety of skills and would like a place to put them to use, especially with all of my friends here who ask me to do their hair,” she said.

The two live 250 yards from MarinaVillage. They said they enjoy the convenience of living so close to the boardwalk shops and resort, as well as the great waterfront views.

“We go out quite often — two to three times a week — and love socializing and meeting new people and are excited about going to MarinaVillage’s new restaurants,” she said.

Lauren Hagen, director of sales for Grosse Pointe Development, said the Resort at MarinaVillage Residence Club has fractional ownership options starting at $74,000.

It offers the benefits of a vacation home without the hassles that sometimes come with second homes, she said. Fractional ownerships are available in 1/12th options, meaning buyers can partner with other buyers. These residences are offered in two or three bedrooms with up to 2,195 square feet of living area. The resort offers, among other amenities, concierge services, room service, housekeeping, and the Marker 92 restaurant.

When away, owners can enter their residence in a rental program, managed by SunStream Hotels & Resorts, she said.
